Movie Magic Screenwriter

Screenwriter produces two types of Revision Marks—Current Revision Marks and Locked Revision Marks.

Current Revision Marks

Are either entered automatically by the Auto-Revision function, Apply Revision Mark (Ctrl+M), or by pressing the Asterisk key (*).

Are the only revision marks removed by selecting Remove Current Revision Marks under the Format menu.

Are the only revision marks found when you select Next Current Revision Mark from the GoTo menu.

Are the only revision marks used to select pages to print when you select Asterisked Pages under the Print menu.

To Lock Current Revision Marks:

Under the Production menu, select Animation Locking then Lock Current Rev. Marks

Once the Current Revision Marks are locked, they become Locked Revision Marks.

Locked Revision Marks

—Are former Current Revision Marks which have been Locked.

Animation Locking does the following:

Converts all Current Revision Marks into a code appropriate for the Revision Locking Level.

Embeds this code in the text where the Current Revision Mark previously was located.

Increases the Revision Locking Level.

To Display Locked Revision Marks:

Under the View menu, select Show Format Codes.  Locking Level is indicated by the number of asterisks on the line that has been edited (e.g., Level 1 = *, Level 2 = **, Level 3 = ***, etc.)..

To Decrease a Locking Level:

Under the Production menu, select Animation Locking then Unlock One Rev. Mark Level.
